Figure 1.-- Here we have brother and sister Pete and Pearl Carter. Pete is on the left. The snapshot is undated, but we would guess was taken in the 1910s. They look to be in the mountains, probably enjoying a freshwater lake. We are not sure where the snapshot was taken, but the children are presumably American. The children wear fairly standard bathing suits for the time. What we are unsure about is the caps that they are wearing.

Pete and Pearl Carter (United States, 1910s)

Here we have brother and sister Pete and Pearl Carter. Pete is the child on the left. The children look to be about 6-9 years old. The snapshot is undated, but we would guess based on the bathing suits. was taken in the 1910s, perhaps the early-20s. They look to be in the mountains, probably enjoying a freshwater lake on their vacation. We are not sure where the snapshot was taken, but the children are presumably American. The trees in the background look like conifers, meaning a northern state, perhaps somewhere in the west. The children wear the same style bathing costumes, .fairly standard bathing suits for the early-20h century. What we are unsure about is the caps that they are wearing. Girls wore bathing caps, but not boys.
